Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book casts a fresh look at what to date has been a relatively unexplored question: the enormous value and usefulness of the metaphor in the understanding and writing of history (and at the historical culture reflected by these metaphors). Mapping a wide range of tropes present in historiography and public discourse, the book identifies some of the key metaphorical resources employed by historians, politicians, and journalists to represent time, history, memory, the past, the present, and the future and examines a selection of analytical concepts of a temporal nature, built upon unmistakeably metaphorical foundations, such as modernity, event, process, revolution, crisis, progress, decline, or transition. The analysis of these and other pillars on which modern history has been built, whether as a philosophy of history, as an academic discipline, or as a set of events, will interest graduates and scholars dealing with the historical and social sciences and the humanities in general. Key Metaphors for History offers a broad overview of historiography and historiosophy, from an unfrequented point of view, halfway between conceptual history, theory of history and metaphorology. Moreover, it constitutes a form of self-reflection of the historian on his or her own positionality when researching and writing history.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The mirror metaphor is ubiquitous in sufi texts. It operates uniquely in Ibn ʿArabiÌ4's thought and writings as a representation of his conception of the cosmos. Being, knowledge, and perfection are among the seminal themes of al-Shaykh al-Akbar's thought, and the mirror metaphor is employed in revealing their reality in his writings. As opposed to Unity of Being, a term that Ibn ʿArabiÌ4 does not employ, the mirror embodies the pillars of Ibn ʿArabiÌ4's conception of Being through representing the quintessential huwa laÌ4 huwa, the configuration of oneness and manyness, and most importantly, the definition of the relation between God and the world. The mirror operates as the connective thread underlying Ibn ʿArabiÌ4's thought. Through his concepts of the image and the 'law of correspondence', the role of the mirror as the configuration possibilizing knowledge, love, and perfection becomes manifest. The rather ordinary metaphor reveals the foundations of al-Shaykh al-Akbar's thought, from rendering existence possible to accomplishing the ultimately epistemic purpose of creation.

Download or read book The Mirror Metaphor and Coleridge s Mysticism written by Kiyoshi Tsuchiya and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study treats Coleridge's thinking as an integral whole and follows in detail the chronological development of Coleridge's quest. It begins by placing modern subjectivity within the history of the mirror metaphor, that here represents mysticism in the west, from antiquity to modernity. It then analyzes Coleridge's encounter with the metaphor and traces his lifelong engagement with it that culminates in the formation of the Pentad. It discusses his early poems and poetics, his reading and rewriting of Kant and his own transcendentalism seen in Biographia Literaria and Aids to Reflection. It then compares Coleridge's mirror metaphor with two contemporary mirror metaphors by Lacan and Rorty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive presentation of an amazing variety of metaphors and metonyms in physics, chemistry and biology. Their crucial role in many disciplines has come to light only over the last few decades.This verbal symbolic reasoning can be considered as a framework of the scientific language of the 21st century. The unique role of metaphors as a "bridge" between different levels of realities -- micro-, meso-, and macro-realities -- is explained in detail. Special attention is paid to the "magic triad" of fundamental metaphors (atom, molecule, gene) as well as metaphors of the "machine" and "book/text".Generously illustrated by a collection of scientific legends and myths, such as Plato's cave and Occam's razor, the book also analyzes special relationships between verbal symbolic reasoning (particularly metaphoric reasoning) and scientific motivation and humor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Th author explains that his study is an inquiry into how theorists, critics, and artists--especially writers--have used the mirror as a metaphor. Following a theoretical discussion concerning material and figurative mirrors, Schlig (Spanish, Agnes College) examines this metaphor from various angles--art as mirror, mirrors in art, mirrors as art. He then traces the importance of mirrors through the major aesthetic movements of 18th- and 19th-century Spain, including Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism and Naturalism, and the Avant-Garde.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The window and the mirror have long served as the dominant metaphors of film theory, both being tied to debates concerning film's ability to a) perfectly replicate the world and b) fabricate lies. This paper charts the evolution of the window and the mirror. The window has forever been tied to filmic transparency, a style meant to disguise the production of the filmic image. Where the window has retained this connotation for decades, however, the treatment of the mirror within film theory has varied widely. This paper merges window theory with three distinct mirror theories: Christian Metz's reworking of Jacques Lacan's mirror stage, the mirror as a reflection of culture (John Szarkowski and reflection theory), and the mirror as a multiplier of space (Metz). Merging the window's transparent view with these different kinds of reflections, this paper posits a new metaphor: a window that reflects. This metaphor is then applied to two classically-made films: Rear Window (1954, dir. Alfred Hitchcock) and La Notte (1961, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni) and one digital video "how to fix the world?" (2004, dir. Jacqueline Goss). My point in applying these theories to these films is to show how the newly-fashioned metaphor is capable of both summarizing what we already know of film and of conceptualizing the changes wrought in cinema as a result of the proliferation of digital technologies in production processes. Specifically, what I find here is that digital cinema constantly straddles a barrier between two worlds: between our world, the one that cinema had previously captured, and another world, defined not by chance or contingency but on the manipulability of the image.
